My Top 15 Most Likely to Win: 1. Netherlands - they have the winning narrative press-wise and Claude is a phenomenal vocalist despite being so young 2. Greece - Greece is trending upward stats-wise and has had one of the biggest improvement rates post-pandemic with 3/4 strong years. Greece Decides could allow multiple talented artists to get to compete, increasing the odds the winning track with the right formula will be there this iteration 3. France - they have been extremely consistent. France will win soon. It is just a matter of when. 4. Finland - the biggest improvement rate between pre and post-pandemic award goes to Finland. Usually it takes a couple years for big artists to be willing to take a shot at ESC after a big success story like Kaarija, so maybe a really talented artist will step up this time. 5. Italy - been 4 years. Sweden won after 3 years in the 2010s. Italy could do it here. 6. Norway - 2 top 10 finishes in the last 4 years. The national final was really good last year. Lots of artists with verve and ambition. 7. Ukraine - perennial powerhouse 8. Lithuania - trending upward stats-wise 9. Croatia - lots of buzz was generated last year. 10. Armenia - trending upward 11. Portugal - trending upward 12. Serbia - trending upward 13. Sweden - trending downward but it is Sweden. They find a way even when they do not deserve top 20 sometimes 14. Latvia (“Ligo” might be a dark horse if they get it right with insanely good staging) 15. Israel - I hope not, but it is sadly a possibility

We need your review on Zjerm and its lyrics

Laura Thorns song for 2025 is a clear reference back to this winner 🤯🤯🤯 Thank you for the back story.

I think the real problem last year wasn't EBU as some might think but the fans. So I am still concerned about next year and I am worried that it won't change for the better. When a 20 year old girl could only leave her hotel accompanied by security because of serious threats to life and her performance could hardly be heard because of the boos, it was about the fans. It was about those who claim to know what is right and what is not. And televote proved that this all really happened inside a bubble which existed for only a few days but left much damage.

My fave was Ljeto, followed by Ðurđa / Baryak. I like Dobrodošli okay, but am worried it won't be able to stand out in a tele-only semi, which the other 3 would/could have. Bit of a bummer. I want MN to qualify.

I would have liked to see Fenksta in the main draw, he is a 2nd substitute at the moment. Let’s hope for the best! Out of all the artists from the main list of participants, I am hoping Nipple People and EoT come with good songs

The lyrics are devastatingly beautiful. Heartbreaking. Welcome to the theater play of love. Imagine women stuck in abusive relationships and they are repeatedly told to smile, act happy, to endure, because this abuse will pass, and this "encouragement" to endure with a smile is abusive and it's on a systematic, societal level in all the Balkans. Their faces are red - and they should be because they are complicit in this abuse. Giving voice to the victims of misogyny is powerful and impactful. Nina is brilliant in her interpretation and women hearing this will feel it, understand it, and appreciate it. A masterpiece and quality song that eurovision desperately needs to keep its reputation as a song contest. Well done Monte Negro and good luck in Switzerland!

Haha you're like Santa Claus here, just giving presents... each by each category... 😅 This deserves max 3 stars. Obviously you didn't hear Marija Šerifović and Dobar Vam Dan... Very similar but much better vocals, lyrics...

Has the nasty head of Eurovision quit? And Israel dares to raise its ugly head again to a chorus of boos

Yeah, I like her dress. She definitely needs to tone it down with the hand movement.

Watching this for the second time, so funny 😁

I can barely look at your facecam because we have the same glasses 😂🫣

I really wanted Let 3 for a third time too! ŠČ!

Excited for Lithuania’s selection because it really isn’t far away!

Imagine if 2012 Kurt Kalleja still doesn’t return and it’s just the same one from last year!

You didn’t mention Francesco Gabbani being a former artist if I remember

Hopefully we will see no spreading of misinformation this time!

Will they also make it mandatory to attend all rehearsals and preview shows do you think? Because I don’t think this was mentioned anywhere

Perhaps now Slovakia will return soon if Czechia do well perhaps they will be convinced.

Love the embedded video content within the video!

Welcome to the show? Didn't The Code start with those same words?

So glad you do what you do, you are not just like everyone else but unique, while I watch several ESC commentators and reactors only 3 or 4 are actually adding true added value to the lead up to ESC and you are one of them, glad last year didn’t turn you off too much from continuing.

Really great song. Amazing vocal and just the sort of dramatic ballad that pleases me in its progression that makes it kind of cinematic for me.

I really like it. My feeling says it will stay in my top 20 and will be a qualifyer for me. I'm not much a ballade listener but she might be the one exception of the year for me. It got some bond vibe i really like

Will you do a lyric-by-lyric breakdown of this song? I really loved them the previous season and you have the ability and the desire to get introspective about lyrics.

Watching this first rating video, I really feel now that Eurovision season has started 😊. Yeah, I hope it will grow on me. Atm though, I even struggle a bit to give it a few more listens tbh. I always find myself listening to Adio instead, I'm still addicted to this marvellous song...

I think she needs to add some drum and bass.

I listen to this song at least 5 times, and i have no memory of it. It's so forgettable. I still remember other songs from the national final, but not this one. If this qualify, means that this years Eurovision is weak...

I love the studio version of Dobrodošli. If they can improve the package for Basel, this might have good chances to qualify.

You are the only person who reacted and got the sense of the lyrics on point!

With televote only semis I think if you can get somewhere between 35-50 points qualifying in 9th/10th place is possible. If Montenegro in a semi with 2 former yugoslav countries they'll very likely have 20-24 points already. Then they may pick up "scraps" from other countries/rotw and could do it that way.

I give five stars because i like Balkan music in the ESC and Dobrodošli is a Grower

They gotta lean more into the dramatic James Bond vibe. And might help if it had a more immersive opening. Maybe a revamp could change that, maybe add the ending of the song to the beginning, to help draw in people, kinda like Tattoo had. Also kinda giving it more character.

16:15 hello there By the way, you nailed that pronounciation, even of 63 ! Chef's kiss 🤌🏻

I really liked the song at the beginning. However, the more I listen to it, the more its' flaws are starting to show. It starts of mysterious but builds very slowly and the climax is not as giant as I would want it. I think the staging does not add anything to it and just like the song itself can be one note. The blindfold things has been done a lot and for the rest it's just her standing there in a white gown. The draw will be very important for this since I can see a way for it to Q, but also a way to NQ (like their last entry which was a female ballad as well). In my personal ranking I'd give this a B or C ranking for now (A-F) but I hope it's not going to fall further especially since the ESC season is still very long.

I hope they don't mess up with the revamp. And I especially hope they don't rewrite the song in english

I think this can definitely qualify! The song just needs a MINOR revamp to bring out some of the instruments and give the song a more flavoursome melody! The staging is also something to work on but no rush!

Well executed but lack of originality, it's a song quite predictable from Montenegro

i love it! Grito and Hollow where able to easily qualify this year and i would say their voting blocks aren't as strong as Montenegro's.

I think the chance of qualifying are not that high. Possibly I will change my mind depending on the other participants. But when this song qualifies, then it will get good jury points in the final

I feel like this year won’t have many ballads, so I think it will stand out if performed well

Good vocals,message and song...Just an all-round respectable entry.However,it does lack a "Wow" factor and i don't think it will stand out enough to get a higher placement than top 15-20.

Countries like Montenegro Latvia Malta and San Marino and even maybe Slovenia or Georgia they need to drawn like 2nd half so they be more memorable and higher chance to qualify. Do I think Montenegro will qualify? For now I say no like I said if they get drawn in first half it can get lost easily

Do you like the Montenegrin entry?
